American fridge freezer repair in Lanarkshire
American-style fridge freezers have more parts to go wrong, including ice makers, water dispensers and filters, but the common faults are the same as for a standard fridge freezer: cooling, defrost and drainage problems.
Common problems
- Fridge or freezer side warm
- Ice maker not making ice, or ice is small or cloudy
- Water dispenser slow or not working
- Water leaking onto the floor
- Frost build-up at the back of the freezer
- Door seal or door alarm problems
What to check first
- Check when you last changed the water filter, because a clogged filter slows the dispenser and ice maker.
- Check the water supply valve to the appliance is fully open.
- Check the doors are closing fully and the seals are clean.
When to call an engineer
Call an engineer if either side isn't cold enough, there's a leak you can't trace to the filter or supply pipe, or ice and frost keep building up.
Common questions
Why has my ice maker stopped?
A clogged filter, a closed water valve, a frozen supply line or a faulty inlet valve are the usual suspects. Replacing the filter and checking the valve are the safe first steps.
Do you need access to the water pipe?
For leaks and ice maker faults the engineer may need to pull the appliance forward. Clear the space in front if you can.
